Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Slightely confused here ukbobby01

when I said "...P2P being an immensely powerful and liberating application for PCs, putting one in touch with millions and involving moral choices not often presented in everyday life is unsuitable for unsupervised use by minors"

That was really my conclusion. When I say parental control I mean the parent supervising the child and not the parent relying on some software options like password protected filter switches - which in itself is not a bad feature.

So I believe we are in accord. Mind you, I know some parents could trust their kid to use p2p sensibly.

A password protection for the "adult" filter isn't very hard to code but the actual challenge is to protect the protection! This a nontrivial problem espeically if people have physical access to the computer or even worse if they use the same user account.

I have a quite precise idea how this can be done on Unix like systems but you (MikeyMike, caren) are likely no Unix users.

but a question to the parent, Why are you letting your children use this anyway?
you can get virus and aload other bad stuff also

You dont need parent control if you superviseing your child? if you there watching him what hes doing then that should be safe enough?

I agree with everything you have said in your post, especially:



However, not your conclusion in favour of parental controls, you have said that P2P is "unsuitable for unsupervised use by minors". Therefore, parents should supervise their children’s use of the family’s PC and not try to palm off their responsibilities to a third party. If parents cannot be bothered to look after their children, and supervision is looking after, why have them.

Lassie, it is far too easy nowadays for people to try to blame someone else for their own shortsightedness, responsibility is not something that can be given away it has to be borne.



UK Bob
Well put, UK Bob! If I had children I personally wouldn't want them using a p2p network until they were old enough, not to mention responsible enough, to use them.

Looking at most households now, the kids know a lot more about computers than their parents. Most kids will mess with the options to see their parents responses and wonder how to fix it, so unless you could get major encryption, the kid will probably figure it out. Amongst another users reply here, saying that downloading music is illegal, is not accurate. Downloading is not illegal, distribution and copying storage is illegal.
